Beauty without Vanity
But pure authenticity, and I seek that
In an era, when people
are going crazy over looks —
going under the scalpel,
traveling to Korea or Turkey —
for aesthetic tourism.
I spend barely a penny
on grooming my appearance.
I don’t need to.
Getting love or confidence
doesn't depend on appearance.
Why so?
Because I value time,
I spend it learning,
and writing on real issues
to raise public awareness.
I may be exhausted after that —
with my spine hurting,
my eyes strained —
but I feel so beautiful.
Can you relate?
Do you value
that kind of beauty —
free of vanity,
but full of authenticity?

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Awesome!!!
Nothing can beat authentic beauty. All those procedures and surgeries could go wrong too
Yes—I see beauty in purpose, not polish. What you’re building lasts longer than looks ever could.
